I was in the 1978 blizzard in Massachusetts.

And, thank God, you survived to see many more years since. I was in New Hampshire at that time. For me, snow was fun. I liked to ski, sled, and make forts and trails in the snow. I was sad when it melted. I didn't want to go back to the indoctrination camp (public school).

I’m from New England. When I took my first steps, Dad put skis under my feet. We used to to skiing on weekends and weekday nights. It was not unusual for me to get out 30 times in a year. Ice fished a lot too. Winter was my favorite season of the year.

This year, I’ve traveled from my home in Louisiana to my cabin in Montana to have a white Christmas. Gonna stay a few weeks.

We have been to some of the same areas. My dad moved from New Hampshire to Montana, and I visited him there. I remember it being so cold that the moisture in my nose froze.

Well, I used to work for Arkla (Centerpoint) Gas earlier in my career for 7 years. As an engineer based in Shreveport, I traveled Arkansas extensively. I also used to go to Lake Ouachita or Lake Greeson every Labor Day for years.

I worked for Arkla back when Bill Clinton was governor. I fully appreciate how he got the nickname “Slick Willie.” He couldn’t tell the truth.

So we may have more experiences in common than what you mentioned.

Your previous employer was my gas provider. I am a customer of Centerpoint, which has since been renamed, or was bought by, Summit Utilities. You said you were an engineer! I also was an engineer, or at least I had the degree, but the work did not really resemble the college education. And I now live near Lake Ouachita, a beautiful place. This year my wife and I have walked on the trails, camped on the lake, and kayaked on it. Now that it is colder, there is almost no one at the lake and it is very quiet and peaceful.

Kayaking at a Montana lake. That’s my Mean, Green, 318 Machine. https://share.icloud.com/photos/0eeUfj216JQQo1nOD5oHklS8A

I have MS. I am sensitive to heat. I can’t hike in summer. Daily three mile dog walks occur at dawn when the temperatures are usually in the low 50s or upper 40s. 80 and full sunlight is too warm for me to do physical activity like hiking. So I ride an ATV.

Oh, I did chemical engineering. Spent much of my career in refineries.

Great pictures! It looks beautiful, clean, and peaceful there.

If you shared some of these pictures to the main part of the site, I bet you would get some likes and more appreciation of your experiences.

I said a prayer for you to receive healing. If you want healing, I recommend you also pray. Jesus died on the cross to give you life. His spirit living in you will quicken your mortal body, if you allow. See Romans 8:11.

Too hot? Climate change Too cold? Climate change. Floods? Climate change. Drought? Climate change. Little to no snow? Climate change. Epic snowfall? Climate change. Hurricanes? Climate change. Tornadoes? Climate change. Inflation? Climate change. Shitskin migrants mobbing the US border? Climate change.

We all need to stop breathing to reduce CO2 emissions and save the planet.

All good statements. You left off one. Winter Vagina? Unvaccinated climate change.

Winter vagina is climate change's final form.
